dc.description.abstractThis study aims to look deeper into the long-standing phenomenon of the United States' large trade deficits with China by examining both countries' bilateral trading structures (character). In this investigation, we, for the first time, redefine the traditional bilateral trade balance (BTB) ratio based on economic impact content as production-driven BTB (Xpd) and non-production-driven BTB (Xnpd). This is done because, while the former undergoes an economic activity within the United States, the latter doesn't. The traditional ratio, i.e. total export/total import, doesn't technically allow such an investigation. Hence, the proposed methodology of this study, using these two new forms of BTBs, may provide new perspectives to this phenomenon for U.S. policymakers. The main empirical finding may make it imperative to analyze the US BTB with China using the methodology proposed because the independent variables of the study's models have different effects on Xpd and Xnpd. For example, while real depreciation in the USD improves Xnpd for 13 industries, the same change in the USD improves Xpd for only seven. Additionally, this methodology allows U.S. policymakers to compare/review the US BTB based on economic impact contents through Xpd and Xnpd separately. Last, it can be interpreted that the United States benefits from decreasing trade-policy uncertainty in the United States.en_US
